A few weeks ago, I had the chance to talk with a group of athletes at Edge Athlete Lounge about Diaphragmatic Breathing. You might be wondering how this even came about?? Well, I met with one of the owners, Robyn LaLonde, to discuss a topic for me to come by and do an educational talk […]

You guessed it (or maybe not)…coaching. I’ve known for a long time that I want to coach triathlon, running, and strength. Why you might ask?? I could go on for hours about why, the list is LONG. I’m going to try and make this short and sweet… I love the feeling of being fit and […]

It sure has been awhile since I’ve had a minute to update my blog. I have really good intentions to write race recaps, talk about training…ya know, all that fun stuff. The problem is, racing and training kind of get in the way of me having time to blog. Ha! Sooo, instead of going back […]

Love me some Dolvett Quince. If you don’t watch the Biggest Loser you will have NO idea what I’m talking about it. Google him, thank me later. If you live in the Midwest, specifically Chicago, you know we are dealing with a beast of a winter. It’s no joke. I can honestly say I ran […]

I’m not into New Year’s Resolutions, I think they are great for some people, just not for me. If I decide I want to do something I just do it, doesn’t matter what day it is or time of the year. To be real honest about it…once I make my mind up about something it’s […]

Duathlon Nationals was the end of my 2013 racing season, I was SO ready for some time off! Coach Jen and I decided that I would take off the month of November from training and get back into it in December. The past 2 years I’ve taken longer than that, but I don’t feel the […]
